Tryin for some CANDY!!!!!!!!! (Blog Candy that is!!!)

I'm tryin' to win some Blog Candy!!! :)A CUPCAKE Stamp Set by Skipping Stone Designs as a matter of fact.It's TRUE, I DO have another cupcake stamp set BUT I LOVE that set and I LOVE CUPCAKES!!!

You can enter for a chance to win TOO if you go to Erin's Blog and check out the deets!!!

I am TRYING to get back into the creative swing of things so this opportunity came at JUST THE RIGHT TIME!!!

The Challenge is to come up with a card using one of 4 card sketches (that can be found at Erin's Blog), post it, link back, yada, yada......

SO....THIS would be the card sketch I'm using:

Now, you WILL notice I changed things up a bit. I'm HOPING this is okay. I guess we'll see. The sketches are a 'starting point' right??? All the 'components' are there just.......kinda........flipped. It just worked better for me that way.........for some reason..

Soooooooooooo........................

here is my creation........

TADA!!!!

This stamp set is also from

Skipping Stone Designs.

I colored her in my color pencils and blended with OMS, this time using a 'coloring tool' (fantastix by Tsukineko) which I think I like. I usually use the little sticks...can't think of the name off the top my head)...anyways these 'coloring tools' worked pretty well....

Paper is just from a Designer Mat Pad, Berry Sweet, by K&Company. The yellow and green pieces were just pieces I found in my colored paper scrap bin(s).

The photo clips are CTMH...OLD.

And YES, I used stickles on parts of the 'flutterby' and on the photo clips as well. I just like a little sparkley! :)

Just added this pic to show how she's not flat. I like her like this......like she's fluttering.... :)

Happy Creating!!!!!

**Don't FORGET! Go here for a chance to WIN!!! Only a few days left!!!****
